By ensuring those individual rights, the University fosters an environment conducive to students' success and well-being. By doing so, students respect the dignity, rights, and property of the University and its members.

The Office of Citizenship and Community Standards is committed to resolving allegations of misconduct under the Student Conduct Code in a manner consistent with its principles of fairness, honesty, and integrity. The Office of Citizenship and Community Standards acknowledges the importance of balancing the interests of the individual student or student organization and the community at large, as well as protecting the integrity of the institution and its values.

"Serving on the University Conduct Board has been one of my best experiences here at Truman. I was able to make a positive impact on fellow students' time here at Truman, and I now know what I want to do after I graduate because of the Board."
